Netgear WC7500 ProSafe WIRELESS 15 AP SUPPORTED CONTROLLER

Tk

The WC7500 Controller is a fully-featured centralized wireless management solution with a base support of ten (10) 802.11n and 802.11ac Access Points (APs) with license to upgrade to fifteen (15) AP’s.

Easy to configure and intuitive to manage, it provides wireless management for small and medium enterprises, primary schools, and small health care customers with minimum total cost of ownership.

FEATURES

Performance

Great support for latency-intensive applications (video, audio, voice over wireless) with seamless L2 and L3 fast roaming.

Minimized interferences and dynamic RF Management: Automatic controls of AP transmit power and channel allocations ensure coverage.

Robust wireless connectivity: Fair bandwidth allocation among all clients is ensured by load balancing and rate limiting.

Limiting bottlenecks: Dynamic load balancing of clients across APs based on number of clients per AP or signal strength threshold/data rate threshold of clients per AP.

Ease of Use

Configure the MAC address filters, make SSID changes, and change the password for all access points—all from the single WC7500 interface.

Triangulation: Administrators can easily locate known APs, rogue APs, and associated clients on the heat map.

Wireless bundles (for single and dual band APs) for ease of ordering.

Business Value

Self-healing Wireless with automatic WLAN healing after loss of AP or due to RF interferences adapts the power and channel of the other APs around the area.

Full control by complete view of customer deployment with heat map, wireless channel, and signal strength for real-time reporting of network status.

Simplified deployment and cost optimization with concurrent support of 802.11n and 802.11ac Access Points.

Scalability

The scalable WC7500 Controller enables businesses to grow their wireless network as needed with a dramatic return on investment: WC7500 scales up to 15 access points (AP) with base support of 10 AP’s and optional license for additional 5 AP’s.
